Some people out there really claiming that THE LEFT didn’t take Project 2025 seriously.

At this point establishment liberals are just living in an alternate reality of their own making.

Establishment liberals have a very two faced attitude when it comes to voters. Like they get high off their own farts saying that they don’t need us, they just need the establishment to help us win, and when that didn’t happen, they started blaming the left for their own failures.

whatever96.bsky.social•42 days ago

Like they say the left is insignificant yet at the same time are the main reason why they lost. Liberal are thinking they are playing realpolitik, without realizing people are getting sick of it.

it may just be something that the leftist circles that i follow did, but they were giving their all in tryng to spread aweareness about the project 2025, to the point where i do not know what they could have done better

its incrediply frustrating to see people doing their all, and yet falling

fleshless.org•42 days ago

I've had tankies tell me I'm delusional for thinking that 2025 is anything but a psyop by desperate dems. However, tankies are not “The Left” either.

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tankies are red fash.

skilma.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tankies are fascists in leftist cosplay!

ostrasyn.bsky.social•42 days ago

It makes no sense; it was a published document!

ostrasyn.bsky.social•42 days ago

I mean, this wasn’t a “citation needed” situation—the citation was provided.

“Even if it's real it has nothing to do with any actual political actors” etc.

cumblywumbly.bsky.social•43 days ago

The Democratic party needs a revolution in the next four years if we want any hope of meaningful change. Neoliberals have been completely taken over by gangster capitalism and it shows.

skilma.bsky.social•42 days ago

All white neoliberal media falls in line to Trump??? Help it make sense.

donryu.bsky.social•43 days ago

I.. I got nothin... That is... a very disciplined and dedicated kind of brain rot.

nerdskull.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ah yes, the only people who took Project 2025 seriously are the people who are currently rubber-stamping all of Trump’s policies and cabinet picks right out of Project 2025 because bipartisanship.

You are all very smart.

eryq.bsky.social•43 days ago

Also there's nothing in Project 2025 that should be a huge surprise to anyone with an internet connection and an IQ above room temperature.

o76923.bsky.social•42 days ago

I think you'd actually need pretty detailed background knowledge of the Heritage Foundation and factions within the right wing coalition to understand some of the policy, priorities, and language choices in there. In the broad strokes, it's Christo-fascism but there's more to it than that.

mysicksadlife.bsky.social•42 days ago

If folks claiming to be leftists are, in 2025, just *unaware* of what the Heritage Foundation is/has been doing?

They are either VERY new to politics, or haven't been paying attention

and besides, Project 2025 is right there, with its own website and all

ionotter.bsky.social•42 days ago

Or they've been paying *very* close attention, and like what they see.

mysicksadlife.bsky.social•36 days ago

The grody third option does exist, unfortunately

eryq.bsky.social•42 days ago

The broad strokes are sufficient. And it was no secret that the Heritage Foundation provided lists of candidates for judicial appointments to Trump in his 2016 term.

nerdskull.bsky.social•43 days ago

Please scold us more about how the left are actually complicit with Trump and techbros, urbanist white guy with a substack.

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

I swear, establishment democrats' self-awareness is in the negatives.

themugmiracle.bsky.social•42 days ago

If they were self aware for even a moment about their complicity and general shittiness, they'd fling themselves off a cliff. Denial and blame's a defense mechanism, for sure

programmerlily.bsky.social•42 days ago

💯

the-enigma-files.com•43 days ago

The problem is that people often think of the Democrats as "the left", despite them being center-right by any objective metric.

mysicksadlife.bsky.social•42 days ago

That's literally what The Young Turks have been crashing out over since US Thanksgiving, so... yeah

the-enigma-files.com•42 days ago

God, TYT was my gateway into leftism, and watching them all lose their minds like that makes me both sad and annoyed.

nerdskull.bsky.social•43 days ago

These are people who are establishment democrat cultists saying this shit though.

the-enigma-files.com•43 days ago

Now, well that's just egregious. Assuming they aren't talking about their fellow liberals, then that's just a dumbass thing to say. XD

yoyou32.bsky.social•42 days ago

you never lose if everything is someone elses fault

silveralethia.puppygirls.online•42 days ago

love how they skipped past "enjoy the camps" and are now just blaming us for the policies aimed right at our heads

spasmodicanus.bsky.social•42 days ago

At this point?

Liberals are mostly defining "the left" as "The most annoying anti-voting guy they wasted three hours with on twitter once". AOC is a "liberal" in their minds because she plays with the team.

(Which is why she's so underrated for 2028, IMO)

o76923.bsky.social•42 days ago

I don't know how far AOC will advance in the party. She really is lining up to be sacrificed on the altar of the party. They won't give her power no matter how much she capitulates to them but it is alienating her with some on the left. Plus they would get to cite her losing to condemn the left.

saffroncomic.com•40 days ago

Bernie Sanders ran what might be the least competent presidential campaign of all time, twice, and nearly won the nomination both times. I don't think the party can stop a competent leftist.

saffroncomic.com•40 days ago

(In Bernie's defense, he wasn't expecting to catch fire in 2016, but no one who worked for Bernie 2020 is allowed to criticize Democrats for being bad at winning elections because that was an all-time throw)

saffroncomic.com•42 days ago

"The Party" ultimately can only stop her in a primary by finding someone more Democrats want to vote for. A lot of liberal voters like her in a way they very much did not like Bernie.

o76923.bsky.social•42 days ago

I'm not saying it's impossible, Obama did beat the machine that one time, but I wouldn't want to underestimate the party's capacity to ruin things for themselves.

mintaka2d.bsky.social•43 days ago

I stopped crying about it after the hundredth "it will never happen" argument happened tbh

I'm just exhausted about all of it.

arkle.bsky.social•42 days ago

Some didn't, unfortunately. I know because I would have them calling me a "fearmongering Liberal" or a supporter of the genocide in Gaza if I dared even mention it.

And a screencap of Bree Newsome-Bass claiming Project 2025 wasn't even real is making the rounds on BlueSky as we speak.

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

Bree Newsome sucks and doesn’t represent the left.

eskargo.bsky.social•31 days ago

We elected Biden.

He shit the bed and did nothing to safeguard the nation.

eskargo.bsky.social•31 days ago

Lol she was right as usual.

arkle.bsky.social•31 days ago

She was objectively wrong. Not only is Project 2025 real, it is being implemented as we speak.

robindamien.bsky.social•42 days ago

Don't recall "the left" going "Welcome home" to Trump.

zenofdesign.com•42 days ago

There were plenty on the left who didn’t take Project 2025 seriously.

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

There were also plenty in the establishment who didn’t.

zenofdesign.com•42 days ago

Fucking Liz Cheney showed more concern about Project 2025 than the significant number of Leftist assholes who spent a year submarining Biden because democrats bad and both parties are the same. Don’t bring that gaslight nonsense in here.

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

I and every progressive I know spent the entire election talking about Project 2025. Who is gaslighting here?

zenofdesign.com•42 days ago

Did I say that you were? Do you deny that there is a significant number of leftists who spent 2024 trying to submarine Biden?

nerdskull.bsky.social•42 days ago

I don’t know about “a significant amount”. The only people I saw doing that were tankies and reactionaries cospaying as “left” like TYT types.
